Re: Pairings you thought would have been popular

I'm a bit surprised that there isn't more fic for Fenris/Sebastian. They had some nice party dialogue once Fenris got warmed up towards him.

Similarly, I'm a bit surprised that Anders/Fenris is so popular. I mean, I get that fandom has always been into rivalshipping but damn. The thing is that I might actually be into the pairing if Anders was kept even remotely in character. He's a bitter, unhinged, passionate dick in canon (well, DA2's canon anyway) not a woobie doormat.

Anders/Fenris is one of those ships that thoroughly confuses me, but then again I rarely ship characters that don't respect or like each other even a little. (However, I never actually read fic about the two of them so I'm not sure what their dynamics are portrayed as, but I don't see how it could be anything but hatesex.)

Most Fenders has them gradually find some common ground and come respect each other. I think the entire appeal of the pairing is that they both have so much in common and can't see it.

Also, I don't agree that they don't respect each other. Their party banter by the end of the game sounds more like two people who are being willfully obtuse with each other and at times they sound like they're disagreeing just because that's what they do. Plus, Fenris is the only party member always willing to engage Anders in honest debate about his crusade, no matter how extreme Anders starts getting.

I think Fenris/Sebastian isn't popular because a)after the debacle that was DA2, few people were willing to give Bioware even more money for DLC so they aren't as familiar with Sebastian's story and b)Sebastian is a Chantry asshole and most DA fans are anti-Chantry.

Dragon Age fandom tends to turn both Anders AND Fenris into OOC woobies. I really haven't seen a larger percentage of OOC crap in Fenders fic than any other pairing featuring one of those two.
